Shop in OC California to check out a Vette

Hello

Im looking for good shop in Orange County, California to have a fairly modified C7 checked out before I purchase it. TVS2300, cam, headers.
Also, any concerns with too low of miles? 2014 Z51 with 1400 miles....
Any help is appreciated...

The above two would be good choices.

I’d probably be more worried about passing a smog test if this is a street car

Bet that car got its mileage a quarter mile at a time.

It's been beat on. Fine if you plan on continuing to beat on it.
The mileage doesn't add up! I am going with Corgidog1, trailered and 1/4mi-tracked.
I would guess the seller is not the original owner.
I would look for another. But hey, it's your choice and money. Good luck. Get the GM service records.

Thank you for the mention. However we did close our service department down back in 2019 so we are no longer working on or doing inspections on cars. We do still do wheel and tire installs but that is it as far as service goes.

Make sure to reach out to American Heritage Performance in harbor city all they work on is LS LT cars. Near long beach which Id argue is not a bad drive from the OC.

Ha! Commiefornia is still the car guy meca of the USA. Our canyon roads and access to tracks are quite up there.

We are over saturated with excellent tunners and specialist shops that have time and reputation to back them up.

Go out, get some sun and relax.
